Taste doesn’t come from study. It comes from exposure.

From what you’ve seen, what you’ve ignored, what you’ve kept coming back to without fully knowing why.

You don’t build taste by collecting references. You build it by paying attention.

To rooms that feel right. To things that age well. To work that holds up when the trend is gone.

Over time, patterns start to settle in. You begin to notice what lasts and what was just loud for a moment.

That’s where taste comes from.

Not from knowing more, but from seeing more and choosing carefully what stays with you.
